James Anderson, England’s all-time highest wicket taker in Tests, has recently been voted the best captain he has played under. Anderson, who needs no introduction, is widely regarded as one of the best swing bowlers in Test cricket history. His unreal ability to swing the ball both ways with precision and control has earned him accolades and recognition from cricket experts and fans around the world.

No wonder Anderson’s mastery of bowling is evident in his impressive career statistics, as he holds the record for most test wickets taken by a fast bowler, and is the third-highest wicket-taker in the longest format. In fact, the 40-year-old is on the verge of reaching the 700 wicket mark as he currently has 685 scalps to his name in 179 Tests.

Anderson made his international debut in 2003 under the captaincy of Nasser Hussein and then the Burnley Express was instrumental in England’s successful 2005 Ashes series victory under the captaincy of Michael Vaughan.

After Vaughan’s retirement, Anderson continued to excel below Andrew Strauss’s leadership, helping the Three Lions win back the Ashes in Australia in 2010–11. The Lancashire cricketer was then captained by Alastair Cook, Joe Carrot And Ben Stokes. When it comes to choosing the best skipper he has played under, Anderson went for Stokes, who won 10 of his first 12 games.

Anderson called Stokes a ‘born leader’ and believed the Christchurch-born cricketer is completely unlike any captain the right-arm pacer has played under.

“I think he’s been perfect so far. The way he plays, he leaves everything out there. So he is a born leader. It’s hard to say in a short time, but he’s had a great start. I think he’s completely different from any captain I’ve ever played with and I really enjoyed it. said Anderson as quoted by the BBC.

The right-arm pacemaker said Stokes’ tactical acumen on the pitch was impeccable, while his emotional intelligence and ability to communicate with every individual on the team is truly impressive.

“For me it’s the finer details, not just on the pitch where his tactical nous was perfect, but also his emotional intelligence off the pitch and how he talks to everyone in the group. If he needs to put his arm around someone or fire someone, he has a really good way of doing it. And also the way he addresses the group is excellent. So I’m really impressed,” Anderson added.
